Curried Beans And Rice Recipe

Ingredients

1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 white onion, diced

2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (leave the seeds in if you’d like more of a kick)

3 cups water

2 cups uncooked basmati rice

15-oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 1/2 cups coconut milk

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

2 tsp. salt

3-4 tsp. curry powder

3-4 vegetarian sausages/brats, cut into ½-inch slices

Preparation

In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeno pepper and cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir in water, rice, beans, coconut milk and seasonings and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in sausage/brats, cover and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon onto plates and serve hot.
